NUEVA YORK – La secretaria del Tesoro de Estados Unidos, Janet Yellen, descartó este domingo un rescate para Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) y trató de marcar distancias con la situación de la crisis financiera de 2008 mientras el regulador busca comprador para la entidad bancaria intervenida el viernes.En el programa de la cadena CBS “Face the Nation”, Yellen aseguró que el Gobierno no recurrirá al rescate bancario pero reconoció que hay preocupación por los depositantes de SVB, muchos de ellos empresas emergentes, y dijo que las autoridades “están centradas en intentar responder a sus necesidades”.El banco con sede en California anunció el miércoles pasado que iba a buscar una ampliación de capital para tratar de hacer frente a sus dificultades financieras, que le habían llevado a deshacerse de inversiones por valor de unos $21,000 millones de dólares, con una pérdida de unos $1,800 millones.Ese anuncio llevó a muchos clientes a retirar sus fondos, tras lo ...

We can let the shooting continue, or we can act,” she said.The group is critical of a bill currently making its way through the Florida Legislature that, if enacted into law, would remove the requirement of a license to conceal carry a weapon.“We’re saddened to see that some of the legislatures have forgotten these lessons which are written in the blood of my daughter, her classmates and her teache...

Healey administration receptive on rent control

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:22:55 GMT

If Boston’s rent control proposal makes it through the state Legislature, it may have a good shot at being signed into law, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll hinted on WBZ-TV’s Keller at Large segment Sunday morning — but she made no guarantees.“I definitely want to be clear that we are supporting our local communities as they come through with housing strategies and ideas,” Driscoll said. “And we also know it’s got a process to get through. We don’t know what it’s going to look like finally, so it’s hard to say 100% we’re gonna be all in.”The comments follow the Boston City Council’s passage of Mayor Michelle Wu’s rent stabilization proposal on Wednesday. The bill — which caps year-over-year rent hikes at 6% plus inflation, to a max of 10% — will face a tricky trek through the Legislature after Wu signs it.The lieutenant governor’s comments also addressed a similar proposal recently put forth ...

After losing four straight games coming out of NBA All-Star Weekend, Brooklyn has won five of its last six games.The Nets entered Sunday with the No. 1 defense in all of basketball during their winning stretch — and it took grit on that end of the floor to slow down the MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokic on the road in Denver.And it was a game that became a one-possession affair as the clock dwindled late in the fourth quarter.In Brooklyn, crunch time is the new scary hours.Those minutes — defined as the final five minutes of a game with a five-point margin — were once a safe haven for a team that previously employed Kevin Durant and Kyrie...
